Configuration and device management from a single pane of glass
Consistent configuration of the devices within your network is essential to maintaining an optimal performance and security posture. FortiCloud provides a central web-based management console to control Fortinet devices. Device settings, such as IP addresses or SSIDs, can be centrally configured for individual devices or pushed to multiple devices. Configuration backups are kept in FortiCloud to assist with replacement or recovery efforts. Device firmware updates can also be centrally managed and controlled, thereby ensuring uniformed policy enforcement and allowing you to take advantage of the features.
